Helps for the Pulpit Isaiah 52:3 For thus said the LORD, You have sold yourselves for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money. I. THE SOLEMN STATEMENT. II. A JOYFUL PROMISE. "And ye shall be redeemed without money." 1. This redemption could not be effected by human means. 2. Nor is this redemption provided by the law which the sinner has transgressed. 3. It must be effected in a way that will secure the honour of the Divine law, as well as the salvation of the sinner. There is redemption by price, and redemption by power, and each is suited to our state. 4. The redemption of man was effected by Christ at a great price. "Ye shall be redeemed without money." As the misery to which the sinner was exposed was infinite, so his deliverance required infinite means. 5. The effect of these sufferings is our redemption from captivity, and deliverance from the curse of the law. By faith, therefore, in the sacrifice of the Saviour deliverance is to be obtained.
